Squirtgun- The Lookouting, 924 Gilman Berkeley 1/7/17 Part 1 Canon HFG30 and Rode Mic
Here is Squirtgun’s first show in 20 years. It was great to see them- I did not get to see them in the 90s. They did songs from bands that they were affiliated with, including Screeching Weasel.

MTX Mr T Experience- The Lookouting, 924 Gilman Berkeley Ca. 1/7/17 Part 1 Canon HFG30
I have been pretty lucky to see MTX a bunch of times since they have returned. I think this was my 5th time in 2 years… and what a show! They opened the set with “Gilman Street”, which was so great. I was totally exhausted at this point, but that was a total surprise. They brought Joel Reader up to help sing “Dumb Little Band” as well, which was another one that has not been played in a while. Sorry for the less than perfect camera work and the 4 part, cut up video. I was ineffective toward the end. My batteries died and I forgot to turn my mic on to start part 4. What a mess.

Brent’s TV- The Lookouting, 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 1/7/17 Part 1 Canon HFG30 and Rode Mic
I have to admit, I really tried to like Brent’s TV but their studio output did not connect with me. I gave the Lumberjack Days 7″ and I listened to the demo online.. nothing. Then I saw them live. Holy shit! You must see them live to get it. They were awesome. Part 1 was the only part of Saturday night that is not shot from the elevated area. Part 2 is much better.

The Smugglers- The Lookouting, 924 Gilman Berkeley 1/7/17 Part 1 Canon HFG30
WOW. I had heard stories about The Smugglers’ greatness live, but they exceeded all expectations. At this point of the fest, my 49 year old body had filmed a shitload of bands and was tired as hell. Then The Smugglers came on and I forgot about it all and rocked out. A scorching set. I was lame in the 90s and missed them, and I am so glad that I got to see them once at least. Surprise of the fest for me.

Kepi Ghoulie doing an all Groovie Ghoulies set- The Lookouting, 924 Gilman Berkeley 1/7/17 Part 1
You know when Kepi is opening a 7 band bill that the night is going to be awesome. Includes one super deep cut. So nice to hear these songs again. I missed them.

The Potatomen- The Lookouting, 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca. 1/7/17 Part 1 Canon HFG30 and Rode Mic
Here’s a band I never thought I would ever see. Lawrence Livermore, Chris Applegren and others do their folk punk thing.

Pansy Division- The Lookouting, 924 Gilman Berkeley 1/7/17 Part 1 Canon HFG30
Between The Smugglers and Pansy Division’s sets back to back, it was like entertainment overload when you are already exhausted. Even if you are not a fan, forward to 4:25 into part 1 and watch the “d*ck of death” get launched into the crowd. I was lucky to have such a good angle. They played all of the hits- I don’t have all of their CD’s but I knew just about every song in the set. Great show, and I was not even bothered by the huge d*ck messing up my focus for a while.
